In celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Tabernacle Baptist Church, a monument to display the cornerstones from our past buildings will be constructed. Located between the Chapel and the Life Center, this monument will connect our faithful heritage and hopeful future. In addition to the Historical Cornerstone Monument, there will be a Heritage Plaza constructed using engraved bricks that memorialize our faithful members past and present. These bricks will finance the cost of the project. You may purchase these engraved bricks at a cost of $75 each. The church will begin selling the bricks on October 20. Church member will be able to order bricks on each Sunday between October 20 until December 8 by filling out an order form in the Welcome Center or you can go to our Church’s website and order your brick online. Our hope is to have this monument completed prior to April 20, 2025. We thank you for your contribution for this historical monument. Click here to purchase.
